Listen To The Sirens
Flow my tears
The new police song
The slogan of peace is:
'You must live'
They've got me and I'm one of them
Cancel - 'silence'
They screamed for days
'We've been here before
We won't stay'
They can die
They can just turn off
Some vehicle moves in circles
Some people need the heroes
But I don't mind
I don't mind
Please listen to the sirens
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
Mister Webb
There is no way out
Love this room
Please don't fight your walls
Can you see I'm wasting your time?
A streetcar's rusting unseen
Music hall's empty like me
But I don't care
I don't care
Please listen to the sirens
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
If I could stay here for now
With someone just a bit like you
'Oh no'
Maybe I would dream again
Of someone just a bit like you
'S'pose so'
Station boys
Keep their hands on steel
Tubeway days now seem
Quite unreal
It's alway so close but
Never quite arrives
My vision's like an old film. Shaky
There's nothing through my window. OK
No photo by my bedside. Black / white
No image in my mirror. Bye bye
|
My Shadow In Vain
Stroll to the cafe
My God how time flies
I close up my brain
And another friend dies
I feel like a mirror
Feel like nothing is mine
I could go back to crying
But now dying seems fine
So I hang from the ceiling
Or I sit on the air
I'll rot in the corner
Until somebody cares
Faces at random
I quote people I knew
I'd love to be like me
If I could feel like you
Here am I more roche five the pain
Here am I just me and my walls to blame
Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane
Here am I still searching for my shadow in vain
Lock my door I only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed
Moving out of Central
Somebody knows me well
Says he'll spill the whole story
He may be lying, I can't tell
Meet me inside
I'll keep my head on the floor
And one hand on the handle
Of the mad/sane door
|
The Life Machine
Me I've just died
But some machine keeps on humming
I'm just an extra piece
Of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace
Why won't you let me die with
Some kind of honour
Why won't you let me die at all
I know
You've got your principles
My body lies immobile
I left it days ago
And me I watch from somewhere
As the loved ones come and go
I see them glancing at the switch
I hear them whispering
'Maybe it's better that way'
I see the love turn into feelings
I know
Aren't quite the same
I see the men of learning
Pacing to and fro
But how can I expect
The sane to ever know
I'd rather die than have no mind
I know my brain is gone
'Damage beyond repair'
I see an empty shell below me
I know
I've had my time
|
Friends
See the strange boy keeping to the
shadows
He's a very good friend of mine
I've seen
you running from the ladies
Don't tell me you're not
the kind
I've got the time if you've got the
money
Mister you'll be pleased you'll see
We'll
meet by the Tubeway
As the screamer cries
'Eleven'
And you can have your way with me
You're gonna make me feel so cold
See my one love talking to the pretty
boy
I never did like her taste
My skin is rubber
on a skeletal body
And I'm physically going to
waste
Feel my eyes and the tongue of a killer
I'm
a humanoid logic machine
Don't touch me with your
painted little fingers
Cos I know where they've been
You're not gonna put those scabs on me
I must hide from a thousand grinning
faces
All sucking from my crazy mind
Take a ride
out in my imagery of ages
And heaven knows what you
will find
I've no time for the chitter-chatter
ladies
I'm so busy trying to break this wall
Hear
my words cos emotion
Now is leaving
You see I'm
really not a human at all
And I don't think I wanna stay

Something's In The
House
Memories lost in faded films of my
life
And a friend that used to be something special
to me
Red wine and good times if you don't feel at
all
There is no point in going on tonight
Something's in the house
Something's
on the stairs
War's in the air
The queer is out of order
And me, i'm
on the ground
But that's no place to be
Jack
Burroughs says 'What you doing?'
'Oh, me I'm going
home'
'Oh what a shame'
Nothing has changed
And
nothing is new these days
(I don't want to be here)
|
Every
Day I Die
The problems of need
I need
you
Obscene dreams in
Rusty beds
No-one came
here
Tonight
I pulled on me
I need to
I unstick pages and read
I look at
pictures of you
I smell the lust in my
hand
Everyday I die
Her favourite trick was to Suck me
inside
Oh so very art nouveau
Completely false
feelings of love. I don't
No-one knows but that died
years ago
|
Steel And
you
It's so quiet and dark
And I
shouldn't be here
This machine won't last
For
always
Just my steel friend and me
I stand
brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
I can see in your eyes
You're not so
sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please
listen
It's so noisy and bright
And I just
love being here
This machine will last
For my
life

My
Love Is A Liquid
Can you see her little eyes
Can you
see her little hands
Don't you think
She looks
just like me
Can you hear her little scream
Can
you hear her little cry
Don't you think
She sounds
just like me
(Chorus)
You have friends and we have
reasons
I can't meet you
Face to face
There are
no corners to hide in my room
No doors no windows no
fireplace
My love is only for me
My love needs
nobody else
Did you know that
My love is a liquid
I could talk to me for years
I can't
speak to you at all
Did you know that
Friends come
in boxes
Chorus
Save your money buy a tube
Let your
body flow inside
Watch it grow before your
eyes
Watch it grow efore your eyes
Chorus

Are You
Real?
No-one's alive
You could almost be
me
What do you mean?
Oh, nothing. Nothing at
all
Room 8, top floor
I've seen this man
before
Are you real?
Is it me, is it you?
Cold metal voice
Of no-one's friend
it could be mine
My reflection
Is no longer me at
all
Am I a fake of 'The Man'
And are you of
me?
Are you real?
Is it me, is it you?
Relax in a backroom
Oh me, oh my, oh
wouldn't you
I know your face
Your connection is
broken, boy
Nothing is new
Remember? I've got no
time
Are you real?
Is it me, is it you?
Real?
Real?
Real?
| The
Dream Police
The dream police
Slogan: - 'What is
on your mind?'
The airwave boys
Junkies won't get
radio time
The purist league
White trenchcoats in
pre-war style
The ageing queens
'Mister, won't you
stay a while'
In death row with Harlow
And others
like you
I point my finger of hate
At your picture
an love you and love you
The radio is talking
Is
it you or me
I must admit
It's far too late to
dial police
What is your name
We are at the end
of the line
Her eyes went out
Dreaming 'overdose
on time'
Hey you old grey eyes
Don't practice
dying for real
The only one
September she knows I
can feel

Jo The
Waiter
Jo the waiter worked for me
Serving
wine in basement bars
Only madmen ever stay, 'Got no
time'
If you're mindless please take mine
Jo the waiter held me close
Behind
the door marked 'Gentlemen'
Just for now that's all I
need
Won't someone call me 'Friend'
Long gone. I recall good times
I must
confess I cried
We burned out and the line went
dead
At six o'clock I felt so alone
I crawled
inside, 'Where else to go?'
I could be dead for all
you know
Every day I died for you
Valium boys with
painted eyes
Young men need love special
I don't
think I want it at all
Long gone. I recall good times
I must
confess I cried
Me I've retired to a back street
flat
Picture 'Eyes in a cold steel frame'
The
freaks arrive
Broken needles and blood
'What you
on man to get those eyes?'
It's very touching I'm so close to
me
False smiles I've rehearsed for days
Come
inside you won't know I'm wrong
Give me your heart
I'm so quickly gone

Zero Bars (Mr.
Smith)
My name is Smith
Your silence is my
trade
My name is Smith
Here in this bar you fade
out
Time heals nothing
It merely
rearranges our memory
In zero bars
Even time no
longer seems
Willing to try
Please look around
Empty
faces
That can't ever quite die
Don't be
surprised
Their bodies move by habit
Look in their
eyes
Nothing is real
If you break down and
cry
They won't even stare
Nobody feels
It's far
too risky
To admit that you care
Stay around
My name is Smith
Your silence is my
trade
My name is Smith
Here in this bar you fade
out

| Blue Eyes
Well you're pretty quick to say you love me
But I've met your kind
before
So I took you twice on our first night
Well, I was never gonna
trust you too far
I love your blue eyes
When you cry
I love your blue eyes
You tried to make me crawl far too soon
You should know me better by
now
I didn't even feel like trying it with you
I knew that I could break
you somehow
I love your blue eyes
When you cry
I love your blue eyes

My Shadow In Vain.
Stroll to the cafe
My God how time flies
And I close up my brain
And
another friend dies
And me I'm just the same
Soaking up Broadway
Nightlife in Detroit
And I'd buy New York
ladies
If these lights weren't so bright
And me I wasn't there
Stagger down Main Street
A knife in my side
I fall to the gutter
In
tears but with pride
And me I'm not that kind
I've been searching for my shadow in vain
How can I be still while my
lifeline remains
With him
Try to steal a needle
Bring peace to my head
And I'm stumbling down
alleys
I find killers instead
and me I'm the cause of it all
Street corner women
Are taking their toll
Now they look at me, I'm
dying
And I'm going home
|
Me My Head.
Coming Soon

| That's Too Bad
I look up and the camera eye is
Searching my room
The TV screen is
calling me
But for what or whom?
Please, mister, do be careful
I'm so
frgile
Maybe they'll let me down to
Speedy's place for a while
Oh, well that's too bad
I talk a lot, a sign of fear
I thought you should know
I can see
pictures of me
Well they're so-so
I'll come on to the leader
Like I'm
some hero
He'll laugh and raise his dying eyes
And then tell me to go
Oh, well that's too bad
1920 flashbacks
For an hour or more
Of crazy actors hiding
In the
doorways top floor
Machines scream in anger
From a thousand dead ends
I
turn my face, I crawl away
I look for a friend
Oh, well that's too bad

Jo the waiter spilling wine
Over some ex-friends of mine
In zero cafe
number nine
What you gonna say this time?
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
New ones walking down the stairs
Pretty young thing but no-one cares
Jo
the waiter drops the tray
Do you always know your name
Basic J
Say, are you new here?
Jp the waiter smiled at me
Jo the waiter's company
I keep him in a book
by my fireside
A drama is my perfect bride

Say, are you new here?

Do Your Best (Friends - Original Version)
Coming Soon
|
Oh! Didn't I say
Hollow
Faces staring through my window
Sometimes
I can play a boy
you might know
Station
Standing cold and old I'm insane
Gender
Is
uncertain just like my name
The lemon kid is my friend
But even he don't know me well
That's too
bad
Oh well the waiter is an old man
Who looks at me so sly and
strange
What's on his mind?
Oh didn't I say I'm not one of you
Oh didn't I say I'm not one of you
Queenie
From a doorway says 'You got time?'
Panic
'Not tonight if
you don't mind'
Oh no
My fear of streets I cower
Today
My room is
home for hours
You can stay if you know your lines
But please take care I'll suck your
mind
Dry
You'll never guess
And you can never know me
I'll change if
I begin to feel
'What's your name?'
Zero hero says I'm no-one
He could
be right but who's to know?
Uh, man from the sky...
Oh well I'm growing
tired of this place
I think it's time to change my face
You can't even try
Oh didn't I say I'm not one of you
Oh didn't I say I'm not one of
you
Oh didn't I say I'm not one of you
Oh didn't I say I'm not one of you

Don't you know it's gonna make me go blind.
White heat, it tickle me down to my toes.
Have mercy white light have it goodness knows.
White light goin' messin' up my brain.

White heat tickle down to my toes
White light, I'll tell you now, goodness knows.

Thinking about little things I've done

You can tell by the look in my eye
You soothe my mind
I'm gonna spend you 9 to 5
Seeing this time to

What the hell are you?
Just those cold brown eyes
he'll look down on you
what you've got now what you want
it's nothing new to me
Your so common with your [?] eyes
you're so gay
will you take no for an answer
you said you're not that way
Kill St Joy
Kill St Joy
Kill St Joy
What the hell are you?
pretty pretty for your own self
are you really my friend?
or do you want me to just be nice for your own ends?
[?] you got [?]
your rock 'n' roll show
if it's the honest way [?]
then we should all know
Dunkirk thinks it sounds like:
with a cold world eye he'll look down on you
if its the honest way WANKER then we should all know
